Complete Guide on How to Draw Manga Characters

the hair, a layer for the skin, and a layer for the eyes. This makes things easier if you make a mistake and need to undo something.

Choose whichever area you’d like to start with first and with the brush tool and color of your choice, begin filling in the whitespace. Take your time so you don’t go outside the lines (the magnifying tool helps to fill in those tiny, hard to reach places). Repeat this step for each layer until your entire image is colored how you like. If you’re satisfied with your character’s colors, you can move on to shading. Shading is pretty similar to what you just did, but you’ll want to use a larger, softer brush tool and go over section of the hair that should be lighter than the rest. Getting the lighting right can be very challenging, so use an image for reference or keep playing around until you get something you like. Like I said, using picture editing software can get very, very complicated, so just take your time trying out new things and see what you can come up with. Once you finish, you can collapse all of the layers and export your image into an .img, .png, or whatever file format you prefer. So, how was it? If this was your first time drawing manga, just keep practicing. The more you draw and edit, the better you will become. Once you feel you have the basics down, check out some more advanced tutorials and maybe someday, you’ll publish your own manga.
